I’m write children’s books featuring black protagonists. Princess Truly and The Hungry Bunny Problem, Princess Truly and The Courageous Cape Chase, Princess Truly in I am Truly, and The Freckled Speckled Rainbow Dog Salon. If you are interested in reviewing any of these, hit me up on FB. I would love to send you a free digital review copy.

Great collection! I’ll have to look for these at the library. All kids need to see diversity in the stories they read!

Thanks-this is great! I was just thinking the other day about how hard it is to find books with non-white characters. We are white, but I want to expose my children to all types of characters and races. I want them to read books with characters who don’t always look like them. And I was also thinking how that must be frustrating for non-white parents because, I agree, children should also have books with characters in which they can see themselves. I’ve learned from my sister, a middle school literature teacher, that its hugely problematic in the publishing world-a novel will be about a person of color and yet, the publishers will put a white person on the cover. It’s ridiculous. But, thanks for this list! I’ll be sharing it.
